Pretty Vulgar Coming to Sephora Next Month

Pretty Vulgar Cosmetics launches next month at Sephora (Update: Available today at Sephora.com) and you can start belting the solo to Queen’s Killer Queen should you like! “She’s a Killer Queen, Gunpowder, gelatine! Dynamite with a laser beam! Guaranteed to blow your mind!

Not a lot is known as of yet about Pretty Vulgar but it’s makeup collection with contrast, just like caviar and cigarettes or in this case whiskey delicate sipped from a tea cup as the brand itself tweeted recently.

It looks like Pretty Vulgar will bring together edge-y makeup housed in pretty princess-y packaging that packs a punch.

HI! Sorry, I have some limits and more and more I’m drawing lines in the sand that I try not to cross. I’m too tired of companies making a marketing wave with controversial names. I’ve got enough negativity around me just walking in the world of today (publicity, news, terrorism, politics, etc.) that I don’t need anything else mixing my idea of what it is to be a woman (and one who wears makeup). So what do I do, I use Urban Decay and mask the eyeshadow color names (just so as to not burn negative labels in my head), I avoid getting NARS’s sexist names products (hard to do) and so, that said this new brand, no matter how special will just not be on my list to get. I know, someone will read this and think, ‘It’s just a name.” But historically and even today, names were and are important. They are a part of your identity. Anyway, a shame too they have pretty packaging. As always though, thanks sooooo much for being a part of the MUA gurus who introduce me to new brands!

Oh lord don’t be sorry I totally understand. Honestly, it doesn’t bother me too much but sometimes I do raise a brow at some of the names! I actually had a discussion about this a while ago here: http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2015/03/does-your-makeup-have-an-inappropriate-name.html and there were some interesting replies about the names ;-D You have a very valid point though, as they say, it’s all in the name 🙂 Aw thank YOU! xoxoxoxo!

Oh gosh my dear, I’d never take it personally. I totally understand where you are coming from. Some names really do make a person raise a brow! We all have different views/personalities on this stuff 🙂 and that’s totally cool. Best part, even if we don’t agree we’re still friends 🙂 <3!
